Cosplay & Crafts
This room is filled with mannequins, all dressed with handmade costumes and accessories.
I started cosplaying in high school, stopped in college due to time and money constraints, and restarted in 2022 after being inspired by a friend. The below photos are all my most recent cosplays, con outfits, and other clothing and jewelry crafting projects.
My cosplay photos are also posted on instagram.
Qifrey from Witch Hat Atelier! He was super fun to make and cosplay as a group with @xingkari.jpeg. He was also the first cosplay I got profressional photos in, which was a super cool experience and definitely something I'd like to do again.

Marcille from Dungeon Meshi is one of my favorite characters of all time, and I started this cosplay right when her dungeon lord chapter came out! Despite it looking simple, this cosplay was super challenging to make- learning how to sew faux fur, my sewing machine not being able to sew through the dress so hand-sewed most of it, and figuring out how to make my face look good with blonde hair. The hardest thing was the staff- it was originally made with PVC pipes and foam for the top but that kept breaking off during the con, so now the top has a 3d printed base that is a little sturdier. I am super happy with how the rope came out to mimic her woven staff though!

This cosplay is of an original character I just call "Maskface" in my head. I got super interested in animegao kigurumi in 2022 along with dolls. It was somehow super affirming to me to wear a monstergirl face, and I try to take her out to most cons to get a chance to walk around as her. I like the doll/bjd-face look more than the anime masks that are easier to find (on the English web at least), so I'd love to make my own one day!
